Default Pardon if you all already know of this forecast tool...

I just found 2 wind and wave forecasts with time loop updates. These really look cool for planning lake trips.

If it's more accurate than the airport, it'll be in my favorites in no time. Thanks.

I've found the following website to be helpful for predicting the wind on Winnipesaukee:

I followed that site all last year and could not figure out how they predicted wave height. I assume it's some algorithm using forecasted wind speed, but I never saw it render an accurate figure. Would be a great thing to use if it worked more accurately! Although then all my friends wouldn't believe my tall tales about how big the waves were in The Broads on a certain day...

It does say that these sites are experimental. As such, I would take that into consideration, and back it up with Snake Eyes, Echo Shores, and WinnipesaukeeCam for a couple of cams in the SE end of the lake, where i do most of my boating.
